Compiz moving windows against my will |
Compiz edge detection code is moving windows against my will |

description |
My screen is Nvidia Twinview setup and I'm using Gnome Classic with Compiz.
I have found that since updating to 12.04 windows have two detrimental regressions.
1. If I place a window between the first and second monitor (so it overlaps both), the window is forced back over. I can understand this for off-screen windows but between-monitors is silly. And there should be an option for turning this off if there isn't one already.
2. If I place a window half-off the top of the screen, all hell breaks loose. Firstly it snaps back down to the bottom of the screen but after that, there's no way to detach it from the bottom of the screen. As soon as you do (and then click anywhere) it snaps back down. The same is true with the top (if you move a window too high up (say holding alt and left-click-dragging the bottom up). I've found no way to work around this other than to close the window and start again, or restart compiz.
The first is a dual-screen issue, the second might affect everybody; but they definitely seem related.

description |
My screen is Nvidia Twinview setup and I'm using Gnome Classic with Compiz.
I have found that since updating to 12.04 windows have two detrimental regressions.
1. If I place a window between the first and second monitor (so it overlaps both), the window is forced back over. I can understand this for off-screen windows but between-monitors is silly. And there should be an option for turning this off if there isn't one already.
2. If I place a window half-off the bottom of the screen, all hell breaks loose. Firstly it snaps back up so it's all on the screen (makes sense if you like that sort of thing), but after that, there's no way to detach it from the bottom of the screen. As soon as you do (and then click anywhere) it snaps back down so the bottom of the window is back at the bottom of the screen.
The same is true with the top (if you move a window too high up (say holding alt and left-click-dragging the bottom up). I've found no way to work around this other than to close the window and start again, or restart compiz.
The first is a dual-screen issue, the second might affect everybody; but they definitely seem related.

[Impact]
Regression in window handling when using Gnome Classic.
[Test case]
1. (multi-monitor) Place a window between first and second monitor. The window should not be forced back.
2. Place a window half-off the bottom of the screen. The window should not snap back up and there should always be a way to detach it from the bottom of the screen.
[Regression potential]
Window placement in general, should be tested by manual/checkbox tests. The same commit has been well tested in Ubuntu 12.10.
-- original bug report --
My screen is Nvidia Twinview setup and I'm using Gnome Classic with Compiz.
I have found that since updating to 12.04 windows have two detrimental regressions.
1. If I place a window between the first and second monitor (so it overlaps both), the window is forced back over. I can understand this for off-screen windows but between-monitors is silly. And there should be an option for turning this off if there isn't one already.
2. If I place a window half-off the bottom of the screen, all hell breaks loose. Firstly it snaps back up so it's all on the screen (makes sense if you like that sort of thing), but after that, there's no way to detach it from the bottom of the screen. As soon as you do (and then click anywhere) it snaps back down so the bottom of the window is back at the bottom of the screen.
The same is true with the top (if you move a window too high up (say holding alt and left-click-dragging the bottom up). I've found no way to work around this other than to close the window and start again, or restart compiz.
The first is a dual-screen issue, the second might affect everybody; but they definitely seem related.
